Endpoint Security
Comparison of Endpoint Security features of Product A and Product B
Comprehensive threat prevention against a variety of threats, such as viruses, ransomware, and spyware is effectively provided by ESET PROTECT. The cross platform compatibility of this software is advantageous for business with diverse IT environments such as those combination of Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Some industries, such highly regulated sectors with specific compliance needs, may find it more cost-effective, however it is less suitable for small enterprises with limited IT resources and for organizations with severe budgetary limits.
The software tends to do a good job of basic protection but is not the best for larger clients and is not as powerful as some others offered on the market today. The support is not the best either, have had a hard time getting assistance in the past trying to resolve issues.
Webroot Endpoint Protection works very well at blocking threats quickly and can undo changes if a file turns out to be harmful, which has helped us in the past.
It runs quietly in the background without slowing down endpoints, even during scans, which is great.
You can manage all your devices from one online dashboard, making it easy to set rules and see security alerts. One pane of glass is always great.
Price a little expensive - ESET is a great product, but it is priced at a high price and in a market as competitive as antivirus and security tools, this can weigh in the balance.
Complexity in creating rules - it's quite complex to create rules in ESET, you end up wasting some time on it, it could be more intuitive.
It was missing detections. We found a better product that detects more malware.
Deploying the endpoint agents was easy, but deploying Web Threat Shield was not and users could disable that functionality.
When you deactivated old endpoints, they were put in an "inactive" category. You could not then delete the "inactive" endpoints. For someone who likes to keep things clean, this was annoying.
I found the rollout of endpoint agent updates to be rather slow.
I'm giving it a 10, because I would totally have no reservations about staying on with eSet for another 3 years once our contract comes up for renewal. We are looking to transfer to a different product in January, however. This is due to a special pricing contract with the state of Ohio that made a normally much more expensive product very affordable and was cheaper than our coming eSet renewal cost. This is a very special case only available to government and educational organizations, but had that not been offered, we would have gladly stayed with eSet.
Provide execllent security agains malware, ransomware, and phishing. Easy to use and monitoring multiple devices and managing security settings remotely. Software firewall ability to secure network traffic and blocking websites and application at software level its gives very easy to configure .Zero-day threats as some other security products is missing with more advanced machine learning and behavioral analysis capabilities.
It does what it needs to do but we have noticed that malware is sort of uncommon and we have started to switch to other solutions of combating malware and suspicious activity such as using products like ThreatLocker and Field Effect, combined with things like malware bytes to perform scans when needed.
Excellent support from ESET and when we had questions regarding the initial deployment they were there. The questions we put forth were answered immediately with great detail. Any of the items we put forth, scenarios, were given a good solution from ESET to fit our needs. This company stands by their product and are happy to step up when needed.
Support has been reliable up to this point. A request can easily be generated via the console and support responding in a reasonable time. We have not had any major issues other than the basic agents not communicating with the console and the like.
Do the full scan at the beginning and be prepared to wait until it is done. It will find things you did not know were there. You can leave on the Apple firewall as well as the ESET firewall. There have been no conflicts. Remember to remove emails from being backed up, so you do not have spam on your backup! This was the mistake I made.
I had some difficulties with remote users. I ended up needing to open a remote tech support session and finish the process. Other than a few speed bumps, I was impressed with the engineering of the install. Because of time differences, I was done installing in two days. The cost, per license, could be less.
The two main competitors We compared ESET PROTECT against was Bitdefender and Withsecure:
· Performance: ESET PROTECT was the lowest performance compared to other competitors.
· Console/dashboard: ESET PROTECT had the most intuitive UI, had great automation features and is the only one that has an on prem option.
· Security: Bitdefender was the strongest but only by a few % but due to the cost being double there was no way our management would accept the cost difference.
We would consider Webroot in the top 5 when you factor in ease of use, level of protection, and cost. Probably not as comprehensive as other end-point security solutions but the proper level of functionality and support for our needs. Question what impact the acquisition by OpenText is having on future development and support. OpenText also acquire Carbonite for back-up support.
